Ayden's Birthday Party

It's been a few years since Ayden had a birthday party with friends. 2 years ago we had just moved to Alabama and he didn't know anyone and last year he was very sick and couldn't do anything. So this year we wanted to make sure he had a good time with friends. Luckily, being a summer birthday the party planning is very easy: water games.
We had the boys over for dinner and then went outside for water games.

pizza and watermelon: perfect summer dinner
Before we could get the boys organized for water games, they had already organized themselves for a football game. Boys!

 We only did a few water games, but they all had a blast. We played water balloon volleyball, relay race to fill cups with water, water limbo, and all out balloon war.


love the hand off to Ellie


Tate was hilarious to watch do limbo


This last photo makes me laugh. Spencer was in charge of water limbo and I happened to look over in the middle of the game and this is what I captured. It shouldn't make me laugh as much as it does!
 
After games, the boys came inside for presents and treats. The highlight of gift opening was the gift that was wrapped in 7 layers of gift wrap, the last being a princess wrapping paper! They thought it was hilarious. I'm so glad that Ayden was able to celebrate being 9 with his friends. It makes me happy that we live in an area where he can be blessed with so many wonderful friends.
